UNSPSC 50397000: Organic tamarillo purees

The type of organic fruit known as organic tamarillo which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50397000 Organic tamarillo purees is a Class code that encompasses shelf-stable and fresh fruit products procured by state and local government food-service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal scope. State and local buyers posting under the code in the past four months have solicited canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, commodity food products, and protein- and grain-based cafeteria items for correctional facilities, veterans homes, schools, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, city school districts, and state procurement offices purchasing on behalf of institutional food-service networks. The mix reflects institutional demand across criminal justice, healthcare, education, and veterans services, with repeat buyers including the State of Illinois (weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple canned applesauce procurements), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (statewide food and consumables for hospitals and living centers), and school districts in Georgia and Connecticut.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent solicitations posted by Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia; the City of Bridgeport in Connecticut; the State of Illinois; the Oregon Department of Corrections; the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts and Texas Health and Human Services Commission; and Austin Independent School District in Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces) due October 19, 2026, with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with historical pricing at $21.84 per case, due July 31, 2026; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments for TDCJ distribution across five geographic areas, extended to May 4, 2026. The code shows activity but limited specificity to tamarillo purees; recent state and local procurement under this code has focused on broader commodity food categories rather than specialty tropical fruit products.
